Duke of York Square（デューク・オブ・ヨーク・スクエア）は、チェルシーのキングスロードにある、ショッピング＆ダイニングエリア。歩行者天国になっていて、人気のブティックやカフェ、アイスクリーム・パーラー、Partridgesという地元のグローサリーがならぶ。今日は暖かくて天気が良かったので、多くの人たちが、カフェの外に置かれたテーブルで、車の排気ガスを気にせず、アルフレスコを楽しんでいた。その中の1軒のBread Boutique（ブレッド・ブティック）の、ミニマルなインテリアと、ウィンドーから見える美味しそうなパンにひかれて、私たちもそこでランチすることにした。

The Duke of York Square on King’s Road, Chelsea is a shopping and dining quarter with popular boutiques, cafés, ice cream parlor, and Partridges grocer. It was a warm sunny day in London today, and many people were enjoying al fresco on this relaxing pedestrianized area, pollution-free from busy King’s Road. We had a little break at one of the cafés, the Bread Boutique, attracted by their minimalist décor and gorgeous breads on display.

The Bread Boutique is the collaboration between Simon John Spears who had been an established Daylesford Organics’ head baker for three years and has catered for the Swedish royal family, and Doron Zilkha, a founder of trendy Brompton Quarter Brasserie in Knightsbridge. No wonder why their breads look so impressive.

We ordered sandwiches with avocado, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella. Ingredients were nothing special, but their bread was lavishly buttered, and crunchy outside but soft inside – the way baguette should be. We also had a blueberry muffin and it was wonderful as well. It is awarded as one of the best muffins we had in London. Of course high quality aren’t cheap in London, especially in high end Chelsea, unfortunately. You have to pay up few pounds more for normal size sandwiches (about £6.00) and small muffin cost about £2.50 (I don’t have a receipt and the prices are approximate) . It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it or not.
